Vala House is located at the very end of Cherai Beach, a quiet and serene location, perfect to unwind. We stayed there for 7 nights and felt very welcome throughout our stay. The room was tidy and clean, with a beautiful view on the backwater pond and the sunrise. The staff were exceptionally caring and forthcoming: Lalu took care of our laundry and even got our torn clothes fixed at the tailor, Vishnu organised a trip to Allepey for us. And above all the breakfast was delicious with classic home cooked Kerala meals and fresh fruit and eggs. Cherai beach is a stroll away and a small beach can be reached within minutes. Can highly recommend a stay at Vala House if you’re looking for a quiet and beautiful getaway in a non touristic part of Cherai.

The hotel owner waited up for us to arrive at 1am, which was very sweet!
We loved the breakfasts. They served us a different Indian breakfast each morning, and they were delicious every single time. Highly recommend just for this!
The hotel is approximately a 5-10 minute walk from Cherai beach, which is a very quiet beach. Most days we were the only people there which was a surprise! There's a hotel / restaurant there which you can eat at, and along the road are a handful of small shops for snacks and drinks.
A bit further (10-15) minutes in both directions from the hotel are local restaurants. We tried most of them and they were all great, serving fresh fish and delicious local food.
This may have been the time of year, but there were no mosquitoes at all despite being right next to open water. A bonus!

From the hotel to the beach was .60p which was cheap it’s a far superior beach than the one at fort kochi that beach was dirty and rubbish compared to cherai beach . The beach wasn’t crowded except wkends but it was full of colour from the ladies saris . Beautiful it was . It’s a long beach and lovely warm sea plenty of places to just sit and read or just tan . The locals if you’re friendly just want to have a picture taken with you they are so friendly . I wish I had stayed here instead of fort kochi . Go to lilliput restaurant it’s amazing . And if your lucky like me you will see dolphins , truly amazing that was

Cherai Beach is a great place for a wind down after the massive hassle of obtaining visa and long flight. Food and drink very inexpensive but do not consume alcohol with your meal as it comes in disguise and may cost more than your food bill!! You will struggle to get a good cup of coffee so take your own brand with you. We recommend Waves Restaurant and there is a hotel (the only one) in Cherai Junction. Fab and exciting public bus ride to Vypen from Cherai Junction then 12 rupees (14p) there and back on the ferry over to Fort Cochin....excellent cheap as chips day out. Auto tuktuks are great from Cherai beach to Cherai Junction.

Not really worth a visit.
Not really worth a visit. Neither the beach nor the sea is particularly clean and the beach is pretty narrow. This may be a result of recent storm damage. It's a local resort so not appropriate to wear swimwear. We enjoyed watching families up from the city playing on the small stretch near Cherai Beach Junction but otherwise it's not a particularly attractive or interesting beach.

The beach is very long and really nice to take a walk.
The beach is very long and really nice to take a walk. I really enjoyed it. If you are looking for a beach with beach bars etc, then that’s not it. The beach is limited by huge stones which are Thread to prevent the high waves from flooding the street beyond. But it offers some spectacular views. Not many foreign tourists in April which is not a problem but just in case you expect to find other backpackers, there aren’t any… overall it was really worth visiting this beach

Cherai beach is a tiny beach on Vypin Island.
Cherai beach is a tiny beach on Vypin Island. It is very small, the sand is rather gritty and dark and to be honest the view is not very idyllic. There is a lot of fishing that goes around it. So, the sea food restaurants there have good reviews. There are some activities like sailing and boating which are also available.
But just for the beach experience, there are plenty of far more prettier beaches in Kerala that one can visit.
Visting India from Melbourne - breakfast was awesome - the food was really good and the restaurant manager Ebin was attentive with no delays - my spouse prefers non veg but this restaurant was the exception. The reception was professional and nothing was left to chance. The overnight attendant helped us locate a cab in the early hours of the morning - thanks to him - note that Uber to the airport does not function during the early hours of the morning. All in all it was the best choice of hotel for us.
Despite being a couple of km's from the main sandy beach, the hotel is directly on the seafront, with rocks at the rear which can be scaled by fitter people than me to reach a narrow stretch of sand when the tide is low. Plenty of loungers and chairs to enjoy the views. Staff really friendly and helpful. Ample breakfast included and food cooked on premises (for a fee) for evening meals. Nice 360 veranda where you can sit as the sun sets or rises.
Stayed in one of the rooms upstairs... Happy about everything... the location, ambience, facilities, food and above all the hospitality... Indeed beyond our expectations... As the church was nearby, we could attend the morning Mass also. The Munambam beach is hardly 2km... and is safe and clean. We all enjoyed a lot... Traveling with my little son who is just 10 months, I was feeling quite safe and comfortable. Happy to recommend this place...
Thank you very much for your hospitality! I greatly enjoyed the friendly and helpful atmosphere of the accommodation. The beautiful room was truly spacious and clean, especially the upstairs terrace was pleasant. The refreshing swimming pool was nice. And the Keralan dishes served were delicious and filling. I recommend this accommodation to anyone arriving on Vypin island looking for a peaceful environment to relax and enjoy their vacation!
We loved our stay at Cherai Beach Residency. The hosts/owners were charming and always helpful and cheerful. It is small, and for us (a family with 2 teenage boys) it was perfect. Rooms were airy, clean and had great views. The beach was clean, quiet and perfect for safe swimming. It is a quiet hotel along a quiet stretch of the beach. For us a total delight, yet with other restaurants and sights a short auto rickshaw ride away.
We had a wonderful experience from them. Staffs at this hotel were so friendly and helpful. Host is very good and very welcoming person. He arranged for us a local sight seeing by scooter. It was a amazing experience for us. The rooms were spacious, clean and well-maintained. The beds were very comfortable and the location was perfect get the direct beach views from the rooms. We had an great stay and enjoyed lot
We stayed there 3 days while visiting Cherai beach . Stay was excellent and budget friendly. Spacious room, equipped kitchen, dining area and a balcony. Kitchen was having gas stove and essential kitchen vessels. We purchased some groceries and cooked ourselves. Good room, clean bathroom with hot water, friendly staffs. Walking distance to Beach. Make sure to have a night walk and dinner at the beach side hotels.
Very nice homestay !
Very friendly & helpful family & with a beautiful room upstairs of their home. It is an independent room with a terrace. The room is new & have all the comodity with a good bathroom. Very good & very happy with. The food ( dinner & breakfast) was very good. Lovely stay, home near the quiet beach.
We had a lovely time at the Cherai beach villa. The location is perfect, for both sunrise and sunset, and the beach is beautiful (with the added benefit of not being crowded!).
Unni is extremely helpful and responsive. And we all really liked Chechi who prepared a wonderful breakfast for us every day.
The house was right beside the beach and it was a quieter area than the others around. The building itself looked really nice inside and out, cool style.
Mahesh was brilliant, he took very good care of us, helped us with everything.
Restaurants with delicious food were nearby.
What a fantastic hotel, Managed really well in all areas. Staff are very accommodating and they genuinely care, recommend to try the Spa Treatment, I definitely recommend this hotel for families, We had a great time and we will be back..
Had a wonderful experience at Vala House. The staff was exceptionally nice and helpful. The rooms were very spacious, nicely decorated and clean with a beautiful view. If you're in Cherai beach area Vala house is a great place to stay.
The rooms were big, clean and well maintained. The staff were awesome, treated us really well. Food (They arranged Lunch and Dinner from a nearby place) was exceptional, especially the seafood.
Cozy resort where they have made smart use of the space they have. The staff were very friendly. We wanted a late checkout which they accommodated quite well. I would gladly stay there again.
Breakfast was delicous. Stuff was great and wery helpful. I rented a scooter from them and it was really great to drive around with it and discober nearby beaches.
